Why does Epson support The Pano Awards?

Sponsorship of The Pano Awards aligns with Epson’s mission to promote innovation and excellence in the world of imaging and printing. Panoramic photography pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the visual arts, capturing sweeping vistas and intricate details that standard formats cannot convey. By supporting The Pano Awards, Epson not only celebrates these achievements, but also encourages photographers to explore new horizons and share their unique perspectives with the world.

About the artist

2025 VR/360 Award Winner

CHRISTOPH SIMON, GERMANY

I’m a freelance video editor and panoramic photographer from Germany. I’ve been running a small business for around 15 years, creating interactive 360° and VR projects for a wide variety of clients. However, I’ve been involved with panoramic photography for much longer – it’s become more than just a job, it’s my passion. Outside of my commissioned work, I regularly realize my own 360° landscape projects.

2025 Amateur Photographer of the year

KEVIN NYUN, USA

My name is Kevin Nyun. I have been a hobbyist landscape photographer and an avid adventurer based in San Francisco, United States. I began my photography journey back in 2021 when a friend of mine sold me his Sony A6100 camera. Even before I owned a camera, I have always been inspired by nature and the moments that occurred within our environment such as the sea of fog in my local city, the burning skies during sunrises and sunsets, the alpine glow on top of the mountain peaks, or the Auroras dancing above the sky. Each of the surreal moments to me is like an escape from reality, and now I use photography to freeze time.

About the artist

2025 Winner Amateur Nature / Landscape

KEVIN NYUN, USA, The Altiplano Landscape, Bolivia

This image was from my last morning in the Bolivia highland. We have been unlucky with the weather for three straight days and the clouds finally cleared at that moment. Bolivia highland, to my knowledge, is less explored due to the difficulty of reaching remote locations and the high altitude of almost 5000 meters. On top of that, snow was quite early this year, and I was in awe seeing the red dessert mixed with fresh white powder. I will never know when I will get to have a moment like this in the future, so I quickly launched my drone and used the pano tool to compose this image. The total number of images in this composition is 21 images single exposure stitched in Lightroom and processed through Lightroom and Photoshop.

DANIEL VIÑÉ, SPAIN

In this coastal village of Vietnam, survival is woven in silence. These women, working in morning shade and salt-laden air, are the unseen guardians of sustenance. The nets they mend are not mere tools, but lifelines binding sea and community together.

Their anonymity turns them from individuals into archetypes — the enduring backbone of a tradition that predates memory. What the ocean tears apart, they restore, ensuring that each tide can return with promise. They do not face the waves, yet the sea depends on their hands.

About the artist

2025 Winner The RAW Planet Award

DANIEL VIÑÉ, SPAIN, Cathedral of Shadows, Utah

The day I captured this image, the desert felt endless. During our journey through the American Southwest, one place had always fascinated me—Factory Butte, an isolated monolith surrounded by a labyrinth of badlands. I launched my drone into the still evening air, exploring the textures and lines carved by centuries of erosion. Then, just as the sun dipped low, the summit cast its immense shadow across the land. I realized I was witnessing a fleeting alignment of light and form, so I captured a full 360° panorama—revealing the sun blazing on one side, the vast shadow stretching on the other, and the raw, timeless silence of Utah in between.

The hike to Trolltunga is a challenging journey, covering 20 to 28 kilometers round trip and can take between 10 and 12 hours. However, it’s also one of the most photographed places in Norway.
